Who can participate and when, compensation and insurance issues
The University of Macedonia Internship Programme is addressed to students of the University who are upon graduation.
Students must not have been successfully examined in all their classes in order to be able to participate in the Programme.
The NSRF Programme
The Internship through the NSRF is conducted in cycles, the duration of which is 3 (three) or 4 (four) months depending on the cycle. Each student is eligible to participate in one single cycle.
The compensation and insurance of the interns (1% at risk of accidents) are covered by the University, under the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" 2007-2013. In several cases, the entities contribute to the payment of the interns they occupy and thus increase the total amount of their compensation.
The duration of the internship may be extended upon request of the host entity, provided that the latter undertakes the intern’s payment and the total duration of the internship does not exceed a period of 6 (six) months.
For students who implement their internship out of the city of Thessaloniki, the Programme covers the cost of travel to and from the place of the internship, for once and for distances over 50 km.
The Donations Programme
When there is no possibility of funding an internship through the NSRF Programme, however an entity wishes to occupy students from the University of Macedonia to implement their internship, it may express its interest to the University of Macedonia Internship Office which then will post a notice. The funding of the internship is undertaken solely by the host entity, which deposits the compensation for the trainee as a donation to the University. The intern’s insurance (1% against accident at work) is covered by the University (the insurance contributions are deducted from the intern’s remuneration and are attributed to the Social Insurance Institution).
The duration of the internship is between 2 (two) and 6 (six) months and may be extended upon request of the host entity, provided that the latter undertakes the intern’s payment and the total duration of the internship does not exceed a period of 6 (six) months.
The present project was co-funded by the European Union (European Social Fund) and National Resources under the Act "Practice University of Macedonia" of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning".
